    @hlbkv gnome software can handle debs and flatpaks (and on Ubuntu also snaps I think). The app itself is a deb, so it is not surprising that it can be installed. The apps that end up being able to be installed with it are probably also debs.

    Just an update, I gave up on trying the KDEConnect workaround. I did some deep investigation on resolving the issue within Waydroid itself, and documented my progress. It's definitely a feature-request in Waydroid. https://github.com/waydroid/waydroid/issues/211 I haven't done any more work on it for a while, since my last post on github. There are a few libs being used in Waydroid, which I linked to, which have sparse documentation. I don't have deep enough knowledge of these languages and platforms to be able to fix this easily - not to mention android's workflow for builds. Wasn't able to do a build of LineageOS on my PC; some incompatibility with package versions. It'd be nice to resolve this for everybody who uses Waydroid, but IRL is taking priority for now.

    @lduboeuf I have a 3.4 Mb history.sqlite file and yes, phone app take more or less 3 seconds to initiate. But not to the point making app unusable or a pain to use it.

    @doktorcaligari A new thread in support would be fine. It should be at the top of the Support section and easy to find. Just add this page as a ref point link in the new one.

    @daha Indeed, OTA23 broke the Bluetooth calls in car on most devices, including the Volla Phone. This should be restored on OTA-24.

    Apologies for being a bit obtuse on this one, but I am trying something on a device and I keep hitting a brick wall. It is not on the OTA. I either get a boot loop when I connect to Wi-Fi at the inital set up or, if I bypass it and try and connect there is no available Wi-Fi and the output of nclmi d is WiFi disabled when it is not. I don't want it to be device specific just yet.

    @becherekmg Maps used by Puremaps are from the OpenStreetMap project. You can create an account and add the missing bike road. The maps used are updated, but I don't at which frequency so after a modification on OSM, I don't know how long it will take for it to show on your phone... It might vary depending on which map you have selected in Puremaps.

    @arubislander ...yes, some downloaded html files, some png, jpg files (e.g.pricelists etc.) and even pdf files I can normally open with the document viewer by morph browser. When trying to open these files with Sapot browser in the "foreign" Morph-Downloads folder ... nothing happens due to "access denied"...

    As I discuss this with myself, these are kind of my notes, so if someone else wants to try these may assist. I am not a programmer, software engineer or anything of the ilk. I can navigate clumsily round DOS commands and basic Terminal commands in Ubuntu and other distro's, so I am ahead in some respects, but an absolute novice with software! I have led a disciplined electrical and electronic fault finding hobby and job. I did in my younger days repair to component level, but have lost this skill, so I am relatively good at resolving faults. That's me, the main bit now: Moto E (2015) Surnia is a really cheap second user phone to buy, picked one up for £8 on eBay. It is only 8Gb and 1Gb of RAM, but the fact that it is so cheap, if I brick the device, I have not lost too much cash. Instructions on the linked forum page are good, but you still require some knowledge of the CLI and file ownership. Motorola bootloader is pretty much straightforward and Googling will show you what to do. To me that was the easy part. Ran the instructions from within the halium-install folder in Ubuntu 22.04, so not in TWRP on the device but on the PC. This was not abundantly clear to me, but trial and error got me past that faux pas. Forgot to ./(sh?) halium-install which would be nice to know so when running it use ./halium-install inside the unzipped halium install folder (doh.. I have used ./ and the sh command a lot when manually installing VBOX utilities pack in a virtual machine). I kept getting a permission denied error when running halium-install. So I googled fu'd and realised I probably didn't have ownership so took ownership with the chmod command: chmod u+x halium-install This resolved the issue and allowed the halium-install command to work. Then the phone showed up on desktop and not in adb. This causes the install not to be pushed to the device. Run: sudo adb kill-server sudo adb start-server This showed the phone up in the CLI (adb devices) After that the install went through fine, so I am now going to be messing with this device to see what is working and what isn't - there is a list, but I will have a play. I don't know if it will have any bearing, but I installed the prerequisites for the build environment from the UBports documentation - I think it must have as I got :35 :permission denied before hand when executing the halium-install and only permission denied after I installed all the dependencies. So I have muddled my way through this and got a successful install, a nice learning curve for me, which would be pretty straightforward to most Linux users.
